This book raises a number of interesting questions about hair (“Were you a hairy baby?” “How about before you were born? Were you hairy then?”) and answers them with a mix of clarity and humor. A straightforward answer is accompanied by many illustrations of real hairy animals and even two hairless ones, plus cartoon-like characters whose “speech bubble” comments inject humor. A delightful way to learn information and be amused at the same time.
